Dwoo and validation/repopulation of forms

[eluser]Vheissu[/eluser]
I'm using Dwoo inside of my projects and find that I can call Codeigniter functions like so:

Code:

{set_value('field_name')}

If that doesn't work for you, then try passing through a super variable of the Codeigniter instance itself inside of your controller.

Code:

$data['CI'] = &get;_instance();
$this->parser->parse('template_name', $data);

Then inside of your template file you can do this:

Code:

{$CI->set_value('field_name')}

Also make sure that you are loading the form validation library first, that could be one of your issues if none of those solutions work for you.
